York College of Pennsylvania

York College’s Board of Trustees unanimously approved the 2016-2021 Strategic Plan for a Greater York College at its Jan. 15, 2016 meeting.

This approval culminated one-and-a-half years of intentional planning by the campus community, led by the Long Range Planning Committee. The plan is meant to be a living document, subject to modification as initiatives move forward and are assessed for effectiveness, according to President Gunter-Smith. “We will continue to evaluate and modify its initiatives as we live the plan. Ultimately, this plan belongs to each of us, as does the future of our College.”
